Originally posted by mind the gap View PostI disagree. If you are too busy to check your bank account occasionally then you are probably rich enought to employ someone else to do it and then to get on to the LA/the non-payers on noticing discrepancies. With online banking, there is no reason why being abroad should make any difference at all. In hospital - very unusual to be in hospital for 10 months and most people who are, generally appoint someone else to oversee their business affairs. In prison - unlikely to be a LL of an student HMO if in prison, as ex-convicts are unlikely to be granted HMO licences.
Many people:
a. do not have or want online banking;
b. are long-term hospitalised (inc. mental health establishments);
c. let on HMOs dating from before the newLabour licensing requirements (so now being in prison would be irrelevant to the new fit&proper test); and
d. live in countries that lack easy internet availability or, in some cases, even electricity.JEFFREY SHAW, solicitor [and Topic Expert], Nether Edge Law*

Simply disagreeing with you does not mean I am deluded.
Please do not get so ratty and rude about it.

Still wrong, I fear. You are only pretending that something demonstrably true is not, a common problem with those of the Left. You are therefore not suffering delusions as you feared (nor are you, in your own words, divorced from reality/living in a fantasy world: hence that's not what I was saying!)JEFFREY SHAW, solicitor [and Topic Expert], Nether Edge Law*

also, forgot to mention this, but one of the old tenants (one of the one's that signed the 11 month contract) moved out at the end of the contract and a new tenant moved in who also hasn't been made to sign anything. can she be legally made to pay rent?

If they ask us to sign a contract now, do we have to sign and pay for the past 10 months?
Can they take us to court for unpaid rent if none of us have signed a contract?

It was a one-year fixed term AST, and the tenant refused to leave from then and declined our access to the property for inspection for many years. He damaged the house extensively and...
